Title: Improvements in Methods of Cleaning and Sterilizing Filter-stones.
Inventor: JARVIS HAROLD
IPC: B01D41/04
Filed: 1910-12-22
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 29,814. Jarvis, H. Dec. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Filters, cleansing.-To cleanse a filter-stone, it is removed from its shell, and air is forced from the delivery to the supply side of the stone while the stone is immersed in water, which is preferably hot enough to destroy bacteria. Water may afterwards be drawn and forced to and fro through the stone, and moisture may be finally removed by the passage of air. The Figure shows a stone A for inward filtration placed in a bucket of water, and connected by the nozzle b and a tube d to the cylinder D of an air-pump. The cylinder has an air-inlet pipe E provided with a hand-operated valve e and a check valve f, and there are holes g through which air can enter when the piston is drawn to the top of the cylinder. So arranged, the pump can force or draw air and water through the filter-stone as described above.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 3169. Birks, W., and Child, S. P. Feb. 8. Embroidery machines.-An embroidery machine forms chain-stitches on the front of the fabric with a thread fed from the back. Hook needles are used. The needle hooks are closed when the needles are withdrawn from the fabric by bars 10 slidingly mounted in the needles and operated independently. The loops are held in the needle barbs during the feeding of the fabric by hooks 31 carried on a cam - actuated bar 34. The bar 34 is slidingly mounted in brackets 35, and receives longitudinal motion from one cam and vertical motion with the bracket 35 from a second cam. The needles are threaded by rotary thread eyes carried by toothed disks 53 which are rotated by a cam 56. The hooks 47 carried by levers 48 on a cam-operated shaft 49 assist the thread eyes in threading the needle hooks. The thread passes from supply over tension wheels 62, having brakes 63, and between take-up plates 67 which are oscillated by means of a rod 70 and lever 71. The fabric is periodically pressed on to a workplate 39 by pressers 38 carried by a bar 40 and operated by levers 41.

Title: Improvement in Process of Making Aluminium Alloys.
Inventor: MELLEN JOSEPH GRENVILLE
IPC: C22C1/02
Filed: 1911-02-09
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 3361. Mellen, J. G., and Mellen, W. F. Feb. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Alloys.-Aluminium is alloyed with one or more of the following metals:-antimony, bismuth, cadmium, chromium, copper, gold, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, nickel, platinum, silver, tin, tungsten, vanadium, and zinc; the addition of silicon improves the sharpness of the castings. The metal to be alloyed with aluminium is melted and heated to a temperature of about 2000‹ F., the aluminium is added, and subsequently an oxidizing-agent, say potassium bichromate, and a flux such as borax, are added; after the formation of a crust on the surface of the metal, the whole mass is thoroughly stirred. In making aluminiumcopper alloys, the oxidizing-agent and flux may be added to the copper either before or after the aluminium, which may be separately melted. After stirring, the surface of the metal may be covered with a deoxidizing-agent, and a small quantity of ammonium chloride may be added to promote fluidity.

Title: Improvements in Piston Pumps.
IPC: F04B19/02
Filed: 1911-03-22
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 7211. Hug FrÞres. March 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Double-acting piston pumps; valves, arrangement of.-In a double-acting pump, a sleeve d closed at each end is interposed between the piston i and the barrel. The sleeve is provided with two ports f, g at each end, and acts to close and open the suction and discharge ports. The sleeve is enlarged in diameter towards the end to form bevelled shoulders d<1>, which are engaged by bevelled packing-rings on the piston when the piston is in its end position, so that, after the stroke has been reversed, the sleeve is moved with the piston until it strikes against the other end of the barrel, thus opening the suction and closing the discharge at one end of the barrel and effecting the reverse at the other end of the barrel. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that the end walls of the sleeves are adapted to fit closely to the piston end, and additional piston rings are provided, which cover the exhaust ports e when in the end position. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improved Means for Removing the Shells from Eggs.
Inventor: UHLIR ANTON
IPC: A47G19/28
Filed: 1911-04-06
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 8584. Uhlir, A. April 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Egg-openers.-The shell of a cooked egg is removed by air pressure. The egg is impaled on a spike 13 and forms a tight joint with an elastic diaphragm 11. When pressure is applied by means of a hand-operated piston 4, compressed air enters the egg through the opening formed by the spike 13 and blows the shell off. The elastic diaphragm is stretched, in order to grip the egg securely, by a shaped ring lie capable of vertical movement relative to the sup-shaped chamber 9. A screen 19 prevents pieces of egg-shell from being drawn into the cylinder 3.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Dynamos.
Inventor: PRICE ALBERT ALEXANDER
IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 1912-03-09
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5981. Price, A.A. March 9. Dynamos, driving.- The driving-pulley of a belt, chain, friction, or gear-driven dynamo is connected to the shaft by means which give it an axial motion as the speed changes, whereby it actuates a switch for opening or closing a connexion between the dynamo and a battery. The pulley 1 has a bush 4 recessed to receive a ball 7, which co-operates with a spiral channel 3 in the shaft 2. A spring may be placed between the pulley and a limiting- nut 8. The pulley bears on a ball 18 carried by a spring-pressed plunger 19 which operates the short arm of a switch lever 12 in the battery circuit. The axial travel of the pulley, consequent upon the driving-torque, closes the switch, but when the dynamo is stopped it tends to run on the cells as a motor, and the rotation of the spindle 2 presses the pulley against the plunger and opens the switch. In the case of a machine having a small shaft, a sleeve may be fitted to increase the effective diameter, the groove being formed in the sleeve. The device is particularly applicable to machines used for lighting trains, motor-vehicles, or launches.
